I go to phonolux frequently in my quest to find RARE old school hip hop CD's that ultimately replace all of the stuff I had on tape. I also tend to find a good selection of Christian and Gospel CD's - which I'm heavily into. If you can look past the questionable service, it's a great place to find good stuff from music to movies. The prices can be pretty competive (I've been to other second-hand stores). I've found CD's for two dollars before and some out-of-print CD's for around 15 - 20 bucks. Speaking of which - if you are looking for some great out-of-print music this is the place to go. And, yeah. The service is a little shabby, but once you become a regular, the smiles and friendlier service becomes more prevelant. For all of you visitors, it's not quite "NO SOUP FOR YOU!" type service, but you might get that vibe.
Pros: Great selection
Cons: Service can be improved

I've been to Phonoluxe several times and have bought several things from there for a good bargain, but the place (employees) are scary acting. They watch you like a hawk and act like you are going to steal something. If you look through the boxes that are stacked under the cd racks they yell at you and say "those are overstock." Then don't have them out where people think we can look at them! I always feel dirty after I leave the place, but it is a great little place to find some bargains and some promotional items of your favorite artists! They are a bit expensive as well on many things, but there are some bargains to be found, but don't ask them for help. It seems to put them out. I guess they shouldn't have the business if they don't want to help the customers! Plus, I've heard them talk bad about other customers when they left---this was just this week! I guess they don't appreciate the customers shopping there! Enjoy your bargain hunting!
Pros: You Can Find Some Bargains and collectible items
Cons: Not friendly Employees
